Weird/Scary Dream

Last night my tummy was very big, hard and uncomfortable when i went to sleep (eventually)
I had the most vivid and scary dream.   I had an Ultrascan and the Techs and Obs were saying my baby was 39 1/2 weeks and ready to go so they were going to induce me the following day.  I was getting upset trying to tell them "i am only 25 weeks and he is not ready yet, He is still growing"  but they wouldnt listen.  I woke with my hand around my tummy, say "He is not ready yet, leave him be"
Just thought i would share this story...  Have you had any weird pregnancy dreams?

Yup! I have, I have!   lol...  I am 15 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and this time around I have had such crazy dreams throughout my 1st tri you could have made tones of $$$ if they were made into movies, or reality shows lol...

Vivid dreams are very common in pregnancy, so is worry & anxiety. Add the three together and you can have wild and sometimes scary dreams.  My girlfriends have kids too and they tell me they also had the same.

**Errrrr... let me clarify something. When I say baby knows when to come that is not the case when you are earlier than 38 weeks. So let me clarify by saying baby will know when to come and is considered safe to arrive into the world past 38 weeks!!! Any time before that.

Sometimes I get so stuck on one subject in my mind I don't realize that what I'm saying. LOL! I was thinking that in regards to induction pregnancy can last up to 42 weeks and if you don't want to be induced you can refuse. ;-)

All the time! Especially when I was worried about the birth. When pregnant with my youngest daughter I had so much anxiety about her birth that I finally switched to midwives at 37 weeks and had a natural birth with her a few days past my due date. Her birth was everything I had wanted it to be and I KNOW for a fact I wouldn't have had that birth had I stayed with the doctor I was seeing.

Sometimes our subconscious is telling us things and we should follow our gut. Perhaps your fear is of being induced or going into preterm labor?! Just know pregnancy can last 42 weeks and baby knows when it is time to come.
